We have stuck together since the late 1950's for the sake of the kids, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has clearly run its course.
Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right for us all, so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.
Here is a model separation agreement:
1. Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by land mass, each taking a similar portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy. Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides had such distinct and disparate tastes.
2. We don't like re-distributive taxes, so you can keep them.
3. You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU.
4. Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA, and the military.
5. We'll take the nasty, smelly oil industry and you can go with wind, solar, and bio-diesel.
6. You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore, and Rosie O'Donnell. You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them.
7. We'll keep capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart, and Wall Street.
8. You can have your beloved lifelong welfare dwellers, food stamps, homeless homeboys, hippies, druggies, and illegal aliens.
9. We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO's and Rednecks.
10. We'll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood .
11. You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us.
12. You can have the peace-niks and war protesters. When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security.
13. We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values.
14. You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, political correctness, and Shirley McLain. You can also have the U.N., but we will no longer be paying the bill.
15. We'll keep the SUV's, pickup trucks, and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Subaru station wagon you can find.
16. You can give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing doctors..
17. We'll continue to believe healthcare is an earned luxury and not a right.
18. We'll keep "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "The National Anthem."
19. I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute "Imagine", "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing", "Kum Ba Ya," or "We Are the World".
20. We'll practice trickledown economics and you can continue to give trickle up poverty your best shot.
21. Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name and our constitution and our flag.
22. Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like-minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just ignore it. In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you answer which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.
Sincerely,
John J. Wall
Law Student and an American

Wrong!
You are not willing to share the benefits of being a U.S. citizen with others who honorably claim that status.
Wrong again!
Is that what you are trying to tell me?
Nope!
Are you saying that you feel this letter was addressed to you? Do I even need to ask?
In a democracy, the people make certain decisions for the nation by elections. The people of a democracy are all on the same side and are a group that acts together of the people, by the people, and for the people. They do not treat each other as enemies and attempt to exploit or destroy those who do not vote the same way. Dictatorships, tyrants, autocrats attempt to exploit or destroy those who disagree politically.
From your post it appeared to me (my error, I hope) that you were taking the attitude of "my way or the highway" toward your fellow citizens. That you hoped to drive them from our shores. That they must give in to your demands or you would destroy them. That is not the attitude of someone who believes in democracy.
I believed this post was addressed to about half the adult citizens of the U.S.A. I strongly suspected that I was one of those to whom it was addressed though I was not sure of that.
So if I was wrong in those three sentences above, just what are you trying to do with this post?
First of all, the United States of America is NOT a democracy' it's a Republic.
That whole 'treating each other as enemies'?
1) That would be the left who does that to the right
2) Obama treats anyone who doesn't agree with him, as his enemy.
3) Obamacare and various other bills he crammed through by executive order were against what the American people wanted.
4)Obama does attempt to destroy anyone who disagrees with him politically. Haven't you heard any of his 5,000 speeches since he took office? He already believes he is a dictator.
Yes, you were wrong in how you read it. A question was asked at the end, on whether or not those groups would be okay with us keeping our flag, constitution, Judeo-Christian values, our Bible, etc.
Essentially, everything the left despises is what the right wants to keep in place for the country. I would think it would thrill them to pieces.
But as was also pointed out, all of these groups would have to make it on their own, so my guess is they wouldn't want to to that.
If you are among one of those to include yourself in any of those groups and you don't like those things listed that the other side does, then yes, of course, it was addressed to you.
I'm trying to get you to answer, perhaps line by line, if you would be okay with us keeping the things we love, and you keeping the things you love?
You still haven't addressed any of the points in the numbered items.
I do deny that ALL the groups you have listed have "railed against" the things you say you would "keep" (meaning take away from the rest of us).
For example:
"We don't like re-distributive taxes"
Obama supporters don't like them either. That's why they support having the rich pay their fair share of taxes. For the last 33 years the tax structure has become totally warped in favor of the wealthy in our nation redistributing the wealth to the rich. The concentration of wealth in the U.S. bears that out.
"we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA, and the military."
The ACLU supports the second amendment. We also support the veterans and military families. We don't always support going off to pointless wars. The police are supported and encouraged to enforce the laws against fraud and other illegal business practices (like pollution).
"We'll keep capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart, and Wall Street."
There you and I have complete agreement except for the capitalism. According to definitions of capitalism as being the free market there is no capitalism since the those greedy corporations have taken over the government to eliminate the free market. A free market is very liberal because anyone can enter that market and there is transparency of information (both buyer and seller have the same information). These are very liberal ideas.
"We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO's and Rednecks."
Lots of luck to you.
"We'll keep the Bibles"
I'm afraid our liberal churches will keep copies (there are lots of translations and we don't intend to give up any of them). You see, you can't keep the Gospel for only yourself.
"we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us."
Aren't you going to read those Bibles you're keeping? I don't see anything in the Bible that says that Jesus likes your killing innocent bystanders.
"We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values."
See my comment just above.
"We'll keep the SUV's, pickup trucks, and oversized luxury cars. "
You'll be paying a lot for gas.
"We'll keep "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "The National Anthem." "
I don't recall any song titled "The National Anthem". Liberals will keep singing "The Star Spangled Banner." We liberals don't think Hymns praise killing so you can keep that "Battle Hymn". You don't mind if we mention in our schools that liberals sang that song while fighting slavery, I hope.
"We'll practice trickledown economics"
You are welcome to it. We find that money trickles up.
As far as the history of the U.S. it is the history of liberal thought improving the nation over the opposition of conservatives. I cite as evidence the American Revolution and the Civil War.
Many liberals died to make that flag a symbol of freedom and human rights.
Our name the The United States of America. Note that word "United". That doesn't mean "conservative" or "right wing". It means all of us, together, supporting each other, helping each other, tolerating each other, cheering each others success. United!
Liberals have supported our Constitution as shown by the ACLU and other liberal groups. You might also note that the Constitution was written and the Bill of Rights added to it by liberals.
--------------
So substitute "democratic republic" for "democracy". I think it will still keep the meaning.
Your misrepresentation of the left and of liberals is very sad.
Sorry for the delay but I was helping my daughter select a venue for her wedding and reception and get down a deposit on it. It took lots of driving and messing around outside the house. (See, I actually do have a life. :-) )
Clearly you want to deal only in insults like your "conservative" allies on this thread. So I will leave the field clear for you. Insert insults below.
Larry, you can deny it all you want, but I see it every day, in the news and on the Internet, and most especially in the shenanigans going on in DC. No one said anything about taking them away. The left has no use for, or regard for those things anyway.
Obama supporters don't like them either. That's why they support having the rich pay their fair share of taxes. For the last 33 years the tax structure has become totally warped in favor of the wealthy in our nation redistributing the wealth to the rich. The concentration of wealth in the U.S. bears that out.
You don't like Obama's idea of redistributing wealth, then go into a rant about the rich. You do know that the more money someone makes, the more is taken out in taxes, right? That little 'tax bracket' thing on your 1040? Obama's feeding you lies about the % of taxes the rich pay. It's been reported on over and over again. It's all lies. No one deserves anything they don't work for and you must learn to work for everything you want. That's the opposite of redistribution of wealth. Should doctors make the same as waitresses?
The ACLU supports the second amendment. We also support the veterans and military families. We don't always support going off to pointless wars. The police are supported and encouraged to enforce the laws against fraud and other illegal business practices (like pollution).
Again, Larry, your idea of supporting veterans and the US military is similar to that of nutty Ron Paul, Code Pink, and most on the left. It is the commander-in-chief who sends our troops into war. Our troops serve because they feel it is their duty and they are honored to serve, regardless of where they go. The cops are not there to push the fraud that is climate change and they are not there to police capitalism. Obama thinks they act stupidly and he feels the same about the cops as the Occupy crowd does. Law enforcement officials risk their lives to keep us safe...period. The left doesn't understand that concept.
"We'll keep capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart, and Wall Street."
No, Larry, you see capitalists as greedy. ALL capitalists, just like Obama does. He thinks socialism works. How well's it working in Europe right about now? When has it ever worked? Obama also despises the free market.
I'm afraid our liberal churches will keep copies (there are lots of translations and we don't intend to give up any of them). You see, you can't keep the Gospel for only yourself.
Larry, leftists are religious bigots. I think we've both seen enough of that to know that they wouldn't care if there wasn't one Bible left in the world. Don't try to kid me. I've been around for over half a century and heard it all from religious bigots on the left.
"we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us."
Aren't you going to read those Bibles you're keeping? I don't see anything in the Bible that says that Jesus likes your killing innocent bystanders.
You saw the work KILL in that statement?
"We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values."
See my comment just above.
See my comment about religious bigotry above.
You'll be paying a lot for gas.
As long as Obama stays in office, yes I will.
I don't recall any song titled "The National Anthem". Liberals will keep singing "The Star Spangled Banner." We liberals don't think Hymns praise killing so you can keep that "Battle Hymn". You don't mind if we mention in our schools that liberals sang that song while fighting slavery, I hope.
Larry, see my comment above about the left and the US military. Leftists don't want to say the Pledge of Allegiance, let alone sing the Star Spangled Banner. And again, your comment about the US military being 'killers' proves my earlier point about the left and the military.
"We'll practice trickledown economics"You are welcome to it. We find that money trickles up.
Larry, did Bill Gates' money trickle up or down? Did he come up with something that put billions of people to work and give them paychecks? His money helps others MAKE money.
As far as the history of the U.S. it is the history of liberal thought improving the nation over the opposition of conservatives. I cite as evidence the American Revolution and the Civil War.
You think liberals were the other ones fighting to abolish slavery? And you believe that our founding fathers were leftists?
Why do you think we want to keep OUR history? LOL
Many liberals died to make that flag a symbol of freedom and human rights.
Many conservatives died to make the US FLAG a symbol of freedom...period.
Our name the The United States of America. Note that word "United". That doesn't mean "conservative" or "right wing". It means all of us, together, supporting each other, helping each other, tolerating each other, cheering each others success. United!
We're not UNITED when the left wants to tear the country down morally, spiritually, and financially. That's the opposite of what our country was founded upon. Again, Judeo-Christian values.
Liberals have supported our Constitution as shown by the ACLU and other liberal groups. You might also note that the Constitution was written and the Bill of Rights added to it by liberals.
WRONG, Larry:
The Founders were republicans. Not George Bush jr or sr, or John McCain Republicans; they were philosophical republicans (with a small "r"). This meant they believed that successful representative governments required the subordination of individual personal interests to the welfare of the community. They believed that the political process was all about identifying the common good. It was not about competition and disagreement; politics was a process in which rational voters and officials calmly sorted out what best served the entire community. The end result was not one camp of winners and another of losers, but the entire electorate united behind a common vision.
Liberals only support what benefits them. They didn't get outraged when Obama signed the NDAA bill into law last New Years Eve. They didn't become enraged when gov't goons shut down lemonade stands and outlawed bake sales. They didn't care the Gibson Guitar was raided.
They cared when a snot nose 16 year old demanded a banner that was up for 70 years down at her school. They cared when atheists wanted a cross erected in memory of our war dead, torn down.
They cared when the ACLU defended NAMBLA in their efforts to teach pedophiles how to have sex with children.
And on and on and on.
The left only cares if the ACLU defends someone trying to tear us down spiritually, morally, and economically.
So substitute "democratic republic" for "democracy". I think it will still keep the meaning. Your misrepresentation of the left and of liberals is very sad.
That's the problem. Leftists don't understand we're a Republic. Your misrepresentation of the US Constitution, the US Military, and the US is very sad...and typical of the left.
If you look at your FIRST comment, you'll see who threw out snide comments first.
How about "Larry, no one asked you about your life."
He throws this in, when I made no mention of him not answering me, or not answering me fast enough:
Roryann,
Sorry for the delay but I was helping my daughter select a venue for her wedding and reception and get down a deposit on it. It took lots of driving and messing around outside the house. (See, I actually do have a life. :-) )
I then tell him no one asked him about whether he has a life or not, and he whines that I insulted him. This was AFTER he called me a traitor to my country in his very first comment.
I really have to take a course in liberal logic 101 to be able to wrap my mind around the reasoning.
WOW, now THAT is an insult. ;(
And it was AFTER he insulted me by insinuating I was a leftist. ;)
"Waaaaah!"
Now let me provide you with the definition of "insult"
insult (verb)
1. a. To treat with gross insensitivity, insolence, or contemptuous rudeness.
b. To affront or demean
ARF, also the fact that you jumped to Larry's defense against my so-called insult doesn't negate the fact that Larry saying to me:
So you are not loyal to the U.S. after all.
is an insult to me.
Moral (another word I should probably provide the definition for) of the story is:
Don't do something you're unwilling to have someone do to you.
This is what happens when they take Bible readings of moral lessons out of classrooms. You forget so easily that if you dish it out, you should be able to take it...like a man.
ARF: You're no man. I would challenge you but it would be an unfair fight...in my favor.
See, you insult me, and I respond in kind.
That's how it works. One party doesn't whine over the other one doing something they just did to someone else.
That flies in the face of libbie logic, I know, but that is how the real world works.
If you are a man, then yes, you do.
Might be considering my age.
Had NOTHING to do with your age. ;p
How long did it take for you to figure that out, Fig Newton?
I don't know, you came to another man's defense. I can't figure that one out.
So, you haven't learned the lesson, then? When can I expect you to whine some more about insults then? Before or after I answer to yours. LOL
Unless it's the RepukeliconnieTeabaggers. They do it all the time.
I believe it was you, a libbturd fleabagger, who did it first. DOH!
The REAL world to you would be the 20-some points up there that we're telling you, you can keep, and you're mad about that? RF, anytime a librecommie is accused of disrespecting the military, there's always either someone who served who knew someone who served. I'm guessing you knew those who burned their draft card, and thought it was cool. I'm also guessing you're a fan of Hanoi Jane.
Since my ancestors served in the military, worked as firemen and policemen, built the railroads and built airplanes during WWII, I'm betting one of us called Vietnam Veterans, baby-killers, and I'm guess that one is not ME.
Didn't say you were a DAUGHTER of anything, just that you behaved like one. See the difference?
I could have summed this whole post up in five words, like we used to in the 60's: LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT.
We would just be allowing you for the first time in your lives, to take personal responsibility for yourselves, but liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, regressive, Marxists, and Obama supporters, don't understand the concept of "with Rights come Responsibilities.
In othere words, if not for the conservatives, liberals wouldn't survive a month.
Just look at what Obama does all the time, the same thing. He needs to distract away from his failures and will use anything or anyone to do it.
They remind me of an old man who used to steal our wiffleballs that rolled up his driveway when we played ball in the streat. Mean spirited, angry at the world and miserable for most of their lives. They just want to drag us down with them.
They also think they can make me back down from what I'm saying. It hasn't worked yet, so they should just stop trying.
You're angry because this post brought out the fact that you believe in, and stand for nothing.
You think insulting the US troops or the US flag irritates me. It doesn't. It makes me take pity on you because you've never felt good about something that is beyond your understanding.
No one said only republicans served. I was mocking your statement about liberals being the ones fighting for their country. Liberals are fighting now to help Obama destroy the country.
Yes, RF, you're one of those described in the post, and you're angry at me because I pointed it out. But I already knew that's what you were.
When I care what you think of me, all your little 8 year old namecalling, I'll let you know.
Don't be angry that you've been exposed for what you are in this post. We already knew what you were.
I dare you to tell a Vietnam Vet you went to one of her rallies.
ARF thinks no white people lost their lives in the Civil War fighting to abolish slavery and ARF also doens't know that the democrats were against the Civil Rights moment.
I smell liberal fear. Their dreams of a communist America is falling apart.
21. Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name and our constitution and our flag.
After all it is the liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, regressive, Marxists, and Obama supporters, who do not the flag, the constiution, or America's history.
22. Would you agree to this?
There's no point in going into history with you. You have your own separate history and constitution and flag it would appear that is quite different from the history I know, the Constitution that I revere, and the flag that I volunteered to serve under in time of war.
I do not agree to any of "this" since I do not reject any of the citizens of the U.S.A. I accept all voters whether they agree with me or not. I reject your attitude and will not adopt it as my own. Mine is a policy of acceptance and tolerance even for those who so rudely reject me and speak slightingly of my understanding and ethics.
I repeat, I would not agree to "this."
I believe it is the liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, regressive, Marxists, and Obama supporters, who have rejected American values and anyone who doesn't agree with any of his policies.
I reject your attitude.
Yours is a policy of acceptance and tolerance? Please, Larry, who do you think you're trying to kid?
If you have a different flag, constiution, and knowledge of the history of the US, than you have slighted my understanding of what it means to be an American and you have slighted my ethics.
But then again, that's nothing new because liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, regressive, Marxists, and Obama supporters, do that each and every day.
I'd say to even suggest someone's opinion is worth MORE than another's, makes that person a horse's patooty.
Patriot? You despise the same things Obama despises about America. Patriots fought to keep our Republic. Leftie knee-jerk loonies are doing everything they can to tear it down; spiritually, morally, and economically.
What ethics do you have, ARF? Care to enlighten us because I have yet to see any.
I suggest we take the heartland and Gulf and Alaskan Coasts for outlets for our Capitalist commerce, while they can hug the east and west coasts like they do now and wait for cargoes of things they can't and won't make themselves to arrive from China, at least until their credit runs out, which won't take long.
Another problem though is the International Marxists among them will agitate to take over our part, since according to Marx Communism must eventually spread over the whole globe. They and their onetime ally Radical Islam will clash over who gets to run the world, but neither woill be able to conquer us once we rearm with enough nukes to deter their agression. They won't want their video games interrupted by nuclear retaliation.
That would be good for them in the long run perhaps but then the bulk of America's remaining producers already tend to live in the middle and they would have to adjust too and why should they suffer for Socialist myopia? Better to leave most people in place where they are and keep the core of Judeo-Christian Constitutional America intact.
A north-south split might work well too but all the Socialists in all the big Southern cities would have to relocate, as would all the J-CC patriots in northern states like Ohio and Pennsylvania.
We could give them all of California so the Southern Socialists could move to San Diego and LA. I think it would be comical to see them struggle with totalitarian Marxism while we are not affected much by their ignorant choice.
They don't understand that apparently conservatives haven't changed much since then. The left wouldn't survive a month on their own.
Clearly he swallows all the BS about America acquiring the highest living standard in the world by THEFT and EXPLOITATION alone. More than that, he has to ignore the success of American immigrants who came here generation after generation dirt poor yet so many succeeded in becoming middle class or better within a generation. I guess they got there only because America attracted all the world's GREEDY BASTIDS.
In my family line, they worked as policemen, firemen, in the military, or did any odd job they could get considering when my family emigrated here, they couldn't get hired by most: "No Irish Need Apply". Yet they always had food on the table, a roof over their heads, and thought they were living the American Dream.
How do you get through life not knowing how generations before you struggled so you can have the luxuries you have today here in America.
They just want it all given to them, they don't want to earn it and hate anyone who has earned more than they think is THEIR fair share.
They will never understand I guess, which I think is sad.
On the upside, conservativism in the military may be the only reason the Obamunists have not gone full-blown Communist revolution. Obummer knows he cannot count on the US military to do his oppressive bidding. He has no Brownshirted National Socialist army or no Bolshevik ex-World War I army to intimidate and enforce the complete eradication of the Constitution and establishment of a personal totalitarian dictatorship. Just a hodgepodge of OWS college students, a handful of Black Panthers and some rather undependable union gangs.
I remain convinced this is also a main reason he continues the otherwise doomed-to-failure Afghanistan war. The Russians squandered crucial manpower and treasure there in the 1980s. Now it's our turn to try to subjugate the unsubjugatable and reform the stubbornly ungovernable Afghani people.
Afghanistan ties up a big bunch of O's potential active political opposition. We could have "won" there two years ago, as far as that might have been possible, if Obama had not taken three months to decide to send a fraction of the troops requested by the on-site command. Nothing like a long unwinnable war to drag a nation down, and that's exactly Obama's goal.
The liberals brag about him endind a war, but he spread our troops all over, Libya, Uganda, and now Syria.
Bring them all home and let all the radical islamists kill each other. Israel will take care of herself and not one more US troop has to die at the hands of a bomb-strapped-to-chest nutjob.
When Jesus recognizes that you have a Mustard Seed of compassion, please let us know.
From,
Those who sat with him at the Last Supper
Thanks for proving my point about your religious bigotry.
Brett, "radical" can only be applied to those who don't.
I wouldn't delete a comment that helps to prove the points of my post, as Brett just did.
They only use Jesus to further their already obvious religious bigotry.
If I deleted the first two, which I don't even recall, it was because you had nothing but name-calling...which is all you STILL have>
It's hysterical that you come onto one of my posts, can't disprove anything I say, and resort to schoolyard antics, which I'm sure you were the butt of more times than you can count. But then it's all you have...ever.
Besides, ARF, I've moved on from this post and posted another letter addressed to you and your ilk. My suggestion for what you can do is even BETTER than the one in this letter.
You have nothing but namecalling and since the first time that type of behavior makes an appearance, it means you already lost the debate.
So, again, you lose. I win...ARF!
Oh, looky, ARF proved two of his many insulting comments, against TOS, were deleted.
Come on, group cry for ARF: Waaaaaaaaaaah!
Again with the honey:
Sorry, Mamby Pamby, but I'll delete ALL your insulting comments if I'm so incline.
You need to grow up ARF, if you want to play with adults.
You're just making yourself look more pathetic.
As I said, I know what little boys like yourself were called when they pulled this stuff on kids that wouldn't be friends with them, but if I called you those words, they WOULD be a violation of the TOS, even if they were true, which they are.
Want to guess what words I'm talking about? I think you know, don't you ARF?
You call me an UnAmerican and a traitor, yet the reason you were so pissed off from your first comment on here, is because you are, in fact, of the ilk this letter was addressed to, and you're angry because you were called out on it.
Dime a dozen, like I said, Same Sh*t - Different Day. This post was custom made for you, ARF. Don't lash out at me because of it. It's who you are.
Turning ARF's Bullcrap to English:
ARF!
Since it was liberals like Franklin Roosevelt who saved the country and developed it entirely from the mess created by Republicans under Hoover, this means the entire USA will have to go the liberals and other patriots. And it also means the right wing will have to leave.
Good bye - don't know where you're headed but enjoy your trip. Meanwhile, before you go, be sure to pay your taxes.
Oh, and by the way, Scientology is RIGHT wing - that along with other forms of cultism.

What an idiotic comment! LOL you are funny as hell Luckky! thanks for the jokes.''
Well, now - another right winger resorts to making childish insults when the truth about a patriotic American is shown. So why don't the do-goody moral Christianity Republicans of this forum demand that the post be deleted?
------------------------------
''Opinion Nate Ted May 22, 2012, 5:05pm EDT
Gee, wasn't it FDR's administration that was full of commies too?''
McCarthy repeatedly made that claim and ruined the lives of many people that way. How many people did he convict of being communists in the FDR administration: ZERO
----------------------------------
''progressive/commie...same thing''
More right wing name calling.
When will the childishness end???
Instead of groundless claims and endless personal attacks, will you right wingers at least TRY to come up with some shred of evidence to support your claims????
Kind of like what's happening now, big government, expanding entitlements...etc.
The depression of 1919 was also caused by a liberal and it took a Republican to stop the out-of-control spending and to get to the period we call The Roaring Twenties.
Ciao, luckky - thanks for stopping by to prove at least towof my points - leftists are religious bigots and have no idea how the economy works. Obama's a good example of that.
And liberals are anything but patriots. Did you even read the post?
The Radical Right's bigotry towards gay rights, women's rights, workers' rights, Palestinian rights, the religion of Islam, justifiable entitlement programs and.....its biased against curbing violence through gun control; seeking revenge via capitol punishment; blaming the decline of the United States on the 60s; supporting any country that bolsters the US's own adventurism in the world is an extremely good example as to why our country is......
possibly headed.....towards......Fascism.......in the next 20 years.
The radical right's recalcitance and biased narrow-mindedness is acutely responsible for why this country is possibly going to hell in a handbasket.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
And THAT is exactly the path that the radical right-wingers and their malignant AM talk radio voices ARE ON.
I have news for you: Rapture is not going to save you.
Because you WON'T be chosen.
Palestinian Rights for one. God will not break his covenant with the Jewish people. If Israel were to fall to radical islamists, the covenant would be broken and if Israel falls, the world falls.
What qualifications do you have to know if eagle i will be chosen or not. Only GOD can make that judgment.
AM radio? I stopped listening to AM radio in the 1960's.
After all, he doesn't even know that a democrat is in the White House.
YIKES!
About your faith: I Didn't Ask; Don't Tell; I Don't Care.
I meant every word. Would you like to deny one of the 20-some points addressed to liberals?
mass majority of humans are too lazy and conveniently distracted to put an ounce of effort into their own existence~ much easier to let the sheperd provide until the wolves pick off all the lambs (sorry for the abstract metaphor with shades of biblical references;it's the liberal with conservative values in me)
We could talk about God having a plan for America, and about us being part of that plan.
You can't even say you pray today, without the left jumping all over you like the NYT did to Romney.
And if you didn't actually read the entire post and would like to find it online, have a friend as I did, send it to you in an email. They found it on the Internet.
And sorry, does Gather require that you RETYPE every word of something you want to share, that someone shared with you? Is it against Gather Laws to C & P?
You agree with it pretty much? So will you go with us or them?
Yes, yes, I tried to take credit for something by posting the name of the author of the material...wait for it...
RIGHT IN THE POST!
August, if policing Gather is the most important thing you have to do...it's pretty pathetic.
You didn't read the post at all. And you overuse the word "obviously".
It's quite obvious you made an incorrect statement and are now trying to cover that up by making an outrageous statement.
Have you looked it up yet or do you still need help?
From you a liberal, leftist, progressive, socialist, Obama supporter such as yourself, I take that as a compliment.
Don't know who Jane is but I'll bet I'd like her if she got you so pissed off, you attempted to insult her when she's not even here.
But then again I expected nothing less.
Don't go so soon.
I wrote a little letter to you and your ilk, of my very own.
I have better suggestions on where you all can go.
I wear your insult like a badge of honor and am so proud that I'm not on the same wavelength as you.
My parents did a good job.
Oh wait... Charles Ponzi invented that and went to prison because anybody other than the government that takes money for future promises is committing a crime.
It's a figure of speech. Are you really that dense half wit? No wonder why you need government & the nanny state...
""You've never wondered about anything else? Even once? ""
Well I have always wondered why liberals are so dense but other than that I have always wondered why you types think you know what is best for me. Just because the government tit is best for you doesn't make it best for me. I just what to be left alone and to keep you beggars out of my wallet. I don't need you or your half witted utopian ideas/ponzi schemes!
Yes, he really is.
All he knows is stuff like "poopy head" and nothing to come back with about the actual post. I'm still waiting for him to say he's not all those things mentioned in the post.
States don't pay federal taxes son. People do. The 1%ers paying about 40% of all federal income taxes.
But then where would all THAT money come from? The ones who want so much from the government aren't the ones paying into it.
Half the country pays no income tax. The other half pays for the entire country.
What do they think anyone owes them?
You might want to look that up instead of just throwing it out there.
Normally, when there are more people on the gov't boob, then there are people acting paying money to the gov't you have HIGH DEBT.
Here are the top 10 states currently boasting the highest debt per capita:
1. Connecticut $5,402
2. Hawaii $4,755
3. New Jersey $4,217
4. North Dakota $3,181
5. New Mexico $3,144
6. California $3,060
7. Massachusetts $3,040
8. Delaware $3,026
9. Rhode Island $3,000
10. Oregon $2,960
ALL voting for Obama so far, with the exception of ND.
Debt held among the states topped $4 trillion this week, with California, New York, Texas, New Jersey and Illinois holding the largest total deficits, respectively. California alone has a deficit of more than $612 billion.
I know you're cranky because Obama lost votes to:
a convicted felon two weeks Tuesday before last
an 'uncommitted' last Tuesday
an unknown last Tuesday
But that's no reason to lash out.
This reminds me of a libby I know who woke up and started to pretend he was never, ever a fan of Obama. LOL
Blame Christie, blame Bush, blame the GOP, blame your parents...anybody but Obama.
Apparently that's the mantra of not only all of the conservatives in the country, it's also becoming the mantra of democrats for this coming election:
Anybody but Obama 2012!
Only losers and phoneys are still defending him.
He's got half the country on food stamps now. He promised free cable and broadband, free phones, free healthcare, and free free free!
That's who voted for Obama but boy were they in for a shock.
Good bye - don't know where you're headed but enjoy your trip.
Instead you post an identical comment waaaaay at the bottom to gain attention.
Maybe you forgot it was you who insulted with your first comment, you remember, the religious bigotry you displayed.
Buh bye now!

Righties prove their claims? They don't even remember what they wrote from one comment to the next.
You are 100% correct. They are so full of hate and unreason that they forget it is they who start with the name calling. Then, they project all that hate unto the patriots here. Shame on each of them.
Personally, I think there are too many people to move from California and New York, so the division should be conservatives in the south and liberals in the north...with them also taking Mexico.
She really believes this stuff.
The Brooklyn Bridge isn't that far away from you, is it?
